From the View of Tobe

There would be notice changes in a 'Rose for Emily' if the story was entirely narrated by Tobe. I believe the original intent, theme, and suspense of the story would shift dramatically from William Faulkner's original piece. Since the story is narrated in the first-person plural perspective from the viewpoint of the town, ('we') the reader is allowed to be intrigued by the mysterious life of Emily Rose. The description of the Emily's house in disrepair shows that the people of the town have made specific judgments about Emily's character, mindset and class status within the town. The fact that they describe Emily Roses' house as 'an eyesore among eyesores' not only means that they disapprove of Emily's home, but also her as a person. This allows the reader to be intrigued by the Emily's eccentric behavior as described by the gossiping townspeople.
Tobe, her servant, would obviously have all the details about her Emily's personality, and the underlying motive to why she murdered Homer. If the viewpoint changed, the story would of gone from a creepy mystery short to a sympathetic portray of a lonely murderer. Tobe was Emily's tool, and it seemed he even carried out her wishes after she was deceased. This can be illustrated by Tobe's quick exit from Emily's house after he had let the townspeople in to bury her. Tobe had to be an accomplice of the plot to poison Homer with arsenic.
Therefore, the story narrated from Tobe's perspective would quickly become a horror story told from the colloquial view of not only Tobe's eyes, but Emily's as well. This conclusion is based on the fact that Tobe has carried out his master's desires wants. From buying arsenic on her behalf to refusing to offer a peep about Homer's murder, paint Tobe as Emily's accomplice.
